First Impressions of Bali

It is day 8 of our journey and we already feel like we have been away for months due to the overload of impressions, colours and smells. Bali embraced us with a striking heat and humidity, much to the dislike of Timo. Yet, the ocean cooled our bodies and the tropical fish inspired our senses in our first days at Padangbai. We rested there for 2.5 days before heading off on a little scooter, the way we like to explore hot climate countries (taiwan, laos, now bali). Driving through the countryside, we discovered lovely beaches with an abundance of ocean life, high volcanic landscapes (mostly misty and in the clouds), rice paddies everywhere and great balinese dishes.
Stats for today: water feels like 27 degrees, outside 31 degrees, humidity high. Large beer costs 3 AUD, wine non existent.
